Wow! Just love all these beautiful houses!!!! congrats to all!! I have been around this group but I never introduce myself...

Hi everyone!!! DH and I just bought our condo this last March, and now we are planning our renovation!!! Yay!!! We want to redo the whole bathroom, change the floors, paint, and make some changes in the kitchen… change the counter tops to graniteChange the back-splashadd in islandCan' t wait to start!!!

We're renting our first home together. It's from a friend of Jason's from work. The property is very nice (woodsy) and quiet which is what Jason likes (no close neighbors). I like that it's roomy since we both are major pack rats. The house has 3 bedrooms so we're going to make one extra room a guest room and the smallest bedroom an office/craft room. Jason hopes to move in by the end of this month. I'll start moving my things in little by little until we get married =) We're both very excited!

well technically we've lived in our first place for 2 years now, but i love being nosy and seeing what other people have bought! we live in a 2 br/2 ba condo just outside of DC.

all the rooms are done EXCEPT for the dining room! I'm hoping to get enough money from the wedding to put towards a dining table/chairs! that's the only thing we don't have done. and wall art! (it's such a personal choice, if i like something, he doesn't. vice versa)

I'm excited to join here!

I'm finally moving out of my parents house and into my FI's home. He bought it over a year ago. I helped him decorate/pick out furniture to begin with and I basically spend all my time there anyway. I'm excited to put a "feminine touch" to it though.

My DI and I bought our first place together in June of this year and embarked on a MAJOR remodel project immediately thereafter (we're talking down to the studs!). It's a little 2 BR + den beach bungalow in San Diego and we LOVE the location (planning to add a second story in the next 5 years to capitalize on the bay views).

We're finally at a place where our lil construction project is becoming a home and I'm looking forward to focusing our efforts on the landscaping/curb appeal next!

Ok so I joined a while agoe but we were still house hunting so I postponed posting. But our bid was accepted on a house so I finally feel worthy of posting ;) I'm so excited for all the decorating and now that you ladies will provide wonderful inspiration and feedback!

After searching and searching for our perfect house, we decided in the end to build. We bought it back in February, but just moved in on November 15th. It's a duplex, and my Grandma is living in the other half so we never have to worry about have troublesome neighbours!

I only have a picture of it when it was under construction, but it's gorgeous. It's 1478 square feet so it doesn't feel like we're in a duplex.

Congratulations to everyone who bought their first home, and good luck to all that are searching!!

Hello! My dh and I started softly searching for a home to buy at the end of last summer and decided to start seriously looking in January. So here we are! We moved into our rental house a year and a half ago and it has been a good learning experience, but it is very small and we knew it was not going to be something long term (we originally planned on staying for a year). We are very ready to move into something bigger that is ours.

Hi!! :) House hunting has officially started, we went to look a few houses and we found one that we REALLY like and would be perfect for our family!!! Our realtor is currently doing some more research for us so we will see :) ahhh so exciting!!

Im getting to it lol we JUST got the computer hooked up in the office so I have to upload my pics from my camera. Don't hold your breath though- lol its nothing "spectacular" - well it is to us, but its our little pile ;) The price you pay to stay I guess lol Good' ol Orange County hahah

We are currently looking for our first house. We almost bought a house about 3 years ago and had a really bad experience and are just now back in the house buying market. We think we may have found the house we want after looking at a grand total of 7 houses. We'll see what happens with that.

DH and I have been married for a year and a half and we have a 12 year old son, two nephews that live with us and a daughter that visits during summer and holidays. So we need a home that will fit our somewhat large and busy family.

I'm looking forward to making a house our own. Because we rent we can't really make a space ours and add our personality to it. I want to paint and all curtains and our personal touches to a home.
